Ok, so maybe there IS a small glimmer of hope now for the spire: the orange crane base is at least as large as the other crane, which is sort of unexpected, if the orange crane's only purpose is to dismantle the blue crane.

The drama continues...

even a shorter spire would be a nice addition to the building, dont have to be 60 meters myb 60ft lol

A modest proposal to the developers:
1 - disassemble that orange crane
2 - reassemble it on the third floor from the top, the one with the beams crossing in the middle
3 - let it slip through the square holes in the upper floors
4 - add three more sections
5 - add a tip
6 - clad
7 - done!

Oh My god even now when the entire thing is topped into an almost point. People are still hoping or imagining that a spire would pop up.
Get real people there is no spire . I am sure even after the damn building is occupied still people forever discuss the possibility of a spire popping up

And you want to take away their dreams...

I would not be so surprised if the new crane will remain there, and will be used as a "service crane" for building cleaning and stuff. Usually those cranes are "hidden" in the mechanical floors, but this building will have all kinds of used spaces on top of the building, like observatory, restaurant, bar, art gallery and who know what... not a lot of space to house a "behemoth" like that.

A Chrysler Building spire-like scenario is technically possible. What if the developers actually want the building to be the tallest in China? They're not supposed to build the spire because of the close proximity of the airport, but maybe they could just blatantly disregard regulations and build the thing at the last minute. It's not impossible; it happened in New York.
